Bunnies

Yes, we've added yet another 3 animals to our farm. About a month ago we took some of the ducks to Keady to an auction/farmers market to sell. While Dan was busy with the ducks the kids and I were looking at the rest of the auction. Sure enough we found these three little dwarf bunnies. So I went to get a bidding number to make our bid. It ended up we got them for $3 each! No, Dan wasn't overly impressed when out we came holding three new critters to add to our collection, but he got over it fast :)

Since we've brought these little guys home the kids have been Loving them to pieces!! It seems someone is always holding a bunny during the day.

Travis has named one whiskers, Kaitlin has named one fluffy and Dawson named one Gorgeous! (This came from a little old lady at the market who told Dawson his bunny was gorgeous. From then on that's what he's been calling the bunny! I don't think he had even heard that word before!)

We have had one minor (thank god) problem with the bunnies. After cleaning out their cage last week, it seems the lid was not put back on enough....so yes you guessed, Three missing bunnies!!! We quickly found the white one all wet from Dixie "playing" with it. It wasn't hurt at all just a little warn out. We then looked all over for the other two bunnies. I though for sure they'd be in one of the fields surrounding our house. We looked and looked with no success. After supper while outside though sure enough we saw one out in the pen with the goats! The kids were thrilled, but still one was missing - Gorgeous. This all happened on Wed night. It wasn't until Friday night that we spotted the third little bunny by the shed. Dawson was so happy to have found it and I was surprised and so glad that all bunnies made it back ok! I'm so glad that the kids have the opportunity to experience looking after and playing with all these animals. Not many parents want the burden of this, but I think it's well worth it to see the kids love of animals grow.
